Traveling with a redheaded temperament

Suzy Stumbles Over Travel: Week of April 9, 2012

As I head out for Opening Day in Denver, I bring you this week’s Suzy Stumbles Over Travel. In case you are new to this site, each week I ask writers and readers to submit their favorite travel post of the week. I read each submission, comment, tweet the article on Twitter, stumble the piece using Stumbleupon and post a link to the article on my Facebook page. The following week I select my five favorites to be featured here and the stumbling begins again into the next week.

Just a few things to keep in mind, please only submit one post per person each week. Your submission must be travel related. Please leave a link to your post in the comment box below rather than sending it to me on Twitter, Facebook, etc. You have until the end of the day on Friday to leave your submission. Anything left past Friday will be carried over into next week’s submissions. I will get busy promoting the articles by the end of the day on Sunday. Be sure to follow me on Twitter, subscribe to my stumbles on Stumbleupon and “like” me on Facebook to make sure I give your post the attention it deserves. Check back here next Monday to see if your submission made my five favorites of the week.

The 5 Favorites of Last Week

After the Peace Corps, Melanie returns home to the USA, choosing to settle into to a settled life with an apartment, 9 to 5 job and all that goes with the two. What she discovers is that this step is not necessary for her to live the life she wants, a life a travel.

Julia recounts all of the troublesome reports about the TSA in the United States. She complies several links to news articles in case you have missed some of the injustices of the TSA. Travelers going through airport security might want to think twice about just allowing such an agency to take civil liberties, and in the process put a damper on traveling in the US.

Trans-Americas Journey share their experience of visiting the Copán Archaeological Site in Honduras. The UNESCO World Heritage Site consists of hieroglyphic stairs, secret tunnels and loads of history. The post breaks down the price of each attraction at Copán, weighing if each and every ticket entry is worth the price.

Gillian tries to make sense of Russia, at 2AM no less. She tackles its many superlatives, the country’s bests and worsts. She battles with the images of the country she created in her mind before seeing the very sights for herself.

Ash provides us with some eye candy and a want to head off to Northern Greece. He explores an area known as Meteora, the Suspended Rocks. The landscape of large sandstone rock formations litters with six monasteries. Ash spends some time hiking around these rock monsters, lending enough inspiration to get up and go do yourself.

Don’t forget to leave your submission in the comment box below. You have until the end of the day on Friday to submit.

I’d like to submit my latest post called Brisbane; The Good, The Bad And The Breakdown which details our short-lived time in Brisbane earlier this year and everything we loved (and didn’t love so much….) about the city

I’ve seen your Suzy Stumbles blog for a very long time now and thought I’d finally get around to submitting a piece that’s mostly pictorial about a visit to Okefenokee Swamp in southern Georgia – a place that’s not on the radar screen of many travelers. http://hikebiketravel.com/17448/outstanding-outing-okefenokee-swamp/
Thanks for your consideration.

sorry I haven’t been submitting lately-it’s a clear case of simply forgetting! If it’s not marked on my schedule, I forget.. .sheesh, this blogging stuff is getting too hectic! This week, happily, I remembered. Here’s a story I wrote this week about a fun ‘sea jacuzzi’ I just experienced in Langkawi, Malaysia..

Hi, Suzy – happy spring! We’ve just celebrated our one-year anniversary over at The Displaced Nation, and in honor of that, new writer Tony James Slater did a post this week on his 5 favorite parties/festivals around the world, which is kind of fun: “Party big! 5 of the world’s biggest bashes, to end all bashes” Also timely as music festival season is now upon us, a great excuse for travel! Thanks for your consideration, ML xx

Hi Suzy, hope you are well! Here is an article I would like to submit for your next stumble. It’s a piece about the obstacles I got over in order to plan a solo trip to Canada, beginning in a few weeks…

About Suzy Guese

After a childhood of keeping road trips interesting around the U.S, stints in Western Europe as an angsty teen and a study abroad year in Italy in college, I decided to make traveling and writing my way of living. My travels are laced with hints of a redheaded temperament, proof that my hair color is indeed natural. SuzyGuese.com is where I solve packing predicaments, blurt out my travel secrets, rant about nomad injustices and share where the road takes me in hopes that it might take you there too.
